Reporting features have supported regular user management while some automation capabilities remain unused
While the features in ManageEngine ADManager Plus are very good, not all features are necessary for every organization. Automation is a strong feature within the product but is not currently required due to the organization's environment and needs. There are always possibilities for improvements in the initial setup of ManageEngine ADManager Plus.

I'm currently working with On Demand Migration solution from Quest. I am providing feedback regarding my experience with On Demand Migration. I have used automated scheduling in On Demand Migration. I can run immediate migration or schedule it as per my convenience, but I have used the run immediately option because I needed it on an urgent basis. The effectiveness of On Demand Migration detailed reporting in managing migration progress is quite good, as there is a report option where I can see what migration got successfully completed, which failed, and even the problem ID and event ID, allowing me to troubleshoot easily on the demand portal. I have not explored the data filtering options. I have not explored data filtering for filtering the data. In terms of data security, we are using independent DLP for data protection in our organization. I have not explored features such as AI functionality or additional security aspects, as I have explored only On Demand Migration for mailbox, Teams chat, Teams channel, and OneDrive. For O365 to O365, it's a very good and easy tool, so I can recommend anyone using O365 to O365 tenant migration to go with On Demand Migration. My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this product is that it makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"Reporting is the most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADManager Plus and is highly usable."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"Simple with good automation."
"The data is pretty secure."
"Overall, it's a very good tool, and if I require another migration in the future, I will definitely go with this tool only."
"It has made my life easier."
"The solution is really stable when it comes to mailbox migration and all of the following work very well: the mail content, the OneDrive for Business content, and migrating all Azure AD objects."
"It's a one-stop shop for tenant-to-tenant migration, negating the requirement for various tooling and additional license costs."
"The solution supports multiple workloads. We've got Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Azure under the same place. It's really easy to see the progress in each of those areas. It's very important to have everything in one place. Otherwise, we'd have to use different platforms to handle different parts of the migration."
"We can see the issues that may come up during migration. We can handle multiple workloads using this since it connects with Microsoft 365."
"The most valuable features of Quest On Demand Migration have been the M365 migration and Active Directory (AD) migration components."
 

Cons

"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty."
"All of it needs to be improved. It has corrupted my environment."
"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work."
"Some of my clients experience issues with the GPO results, which do not always generate the real outcomes. This needs to be resolved by technicians."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"Some things are not very intuitive."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"It would be more useful if I could scope the dashboard. I would like to be able to scope the users that I want to see to a much smaller list. When I am looking into a tenant with 35,000 accounts, and I am only moving 2,000 of them, I wish that the guys had been smarter about the discovery, and I could have only discovered those accounts, but there is not too much to complain about."
"Their support interface is not so great because you need to go through several links before you can raise the ticket. Sometimes the interface freezes up, and there is some downtime. They give us some notice. It says at the top of the interface that there will be scheduled maintenance in a given region or there is currently an outage. You can see upcoming downtime in the portal and plan accordingly."
"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."
"In terms of Microsoft Teams, the only disappointment for us has been how the chats are migrated. They just don't look exactly the same as they would if you were logging on as normal. Obviously, when it comes to the user experience, you want the look and feel of everything to be replicated identically, and chats is the only part of it that doesn't look identical. However, it's not a 'car crash.' It's a slight deviation from what people would expect."
"We had some issues with migrating Teams."
"One significant issue that often elicited complaints during domain migration was the need to set the primary UPN for objects once they were migrated to the target."
"They should introduce a module for migrating power automation for users."
"They need to make the dashboard editable in the browser instead of only through CSV/scanning tenants."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"It is not expensive."
"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"The solution is on the more expensive side, when you compare it not only to BitTitan but to other tools in the cloud market. Of course, you receive things like Quest's support organization."
"We are fine with the tool's pricing."
"I find the pricing to be cost-efficient for what you receive with the Quest product."
"It is quite cheap. Previously, I used to work for a big company, and they get quite a good deal, and now, I'm working for a small company, and even they get quite a good deal. So, its pricing is quite fair."
"The product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."
"It is more than fair for what you get."
